First published anonymously in 1603, these 15 sprightly, amusing, and controversial tales about marriage are medieval in origin but modern in spirit, stylized but realistic, and full of middle-class Elizabethan life. The humorous accounts of the craftiness of wives to keep their husbands in a state of despairing subjection became an Elizabethan bestseller.
